my $newappt = $outlook->CreateItem(olAppointmentItem);

$newappt->{Subject} = "My Test Appointment";

I wonder if people would be interested in a tutorial on translating vb/vbscript to perl and Win32::OLE. Then we can just point them to such a tutorial and the zillion vbscript/vb samples on the Internet. hmmm...
